Carré d’Etoiles: It’s French for Holiday

Carré d’Etoiles is an ingenious new holiday concept straight out of from France.  The basic premise was to create self-contained, environmentally-friendly accommodation that can be situated in any location and climate.  And to make it as cheaply as possible without losing any of the quality or design elements.  A challenge, to say the least.

The result?  a 3m cubed ‘pod’, complete with a telescope, as well as a fireplace, flat screen TV, iPod dock and – la piece de resistance – a window that lets you stargaze from bed.  At 10 square metres, there’s not a lot of room for much other than sleeping and eating. But at 90 euros per night for simple accommodation in some of France’s most stunning locales, who cares?
